Learn to Skate this Winter!



During this 4 week program, your child will learn the fundamentals of ice skating. Lessons will focus on gaining balance and confidence on skates, skating forward, turning, learning to stop and even skating backwards. Our goal is to move participants forward individually as each masters a new skill. 

Please send your participant with ice skates or hockey skates, helmets, and warm winter clothes. Bike helmets work great. A chair is also recommended for changing into skates.
